Camisado

The Unseen Enemy

In the midst of the night, they made their attack;
their murderous mission saw no turning back.
Relentless, remorseless, in raid after raid,
their victims lay helpless, with life-blood they paid.
This brazen assault, under darkness was cloaked;
the carnage ensuing was never provoked.

But then the tide turned, the invaders were stunned;
imagine their shock to find they were outgunned!
This cruel camisado was instantly ended
when the wrath of the victims upon them descended.
The marauding mosquitoes met a fate unforeseen
as I finished them off with a blast of Mortein.
